Cookbooks to spice up your camping cuisine

SPICE UP YOUR campout cuisine with three new cookbooks by authors (and avid hikers) Christine and Tim Conners, who collect many of their recipes and tips from Scouts and Scouters. You’ll find The Scout’s Backpacking Cookbook, The Scout’s Dutch Oven Cookbook, and The Scout’s Large Groups Cookbook ($16.95 each) stuffed with tasty, inventive, simple recipes that leave hot dogs and mac and cheese in the dust.

Order the Dutch oven and backpacking books from scoutstuff.org, or grab all three at Amazon.com or major book retailers.
